Hi,
As i'm wanting to participate in a new ICO, i invested 0,065BTC in Westerncoin and Hextracoin.
Except for the fact that it took Westerncoin 4 hours to confirm my deposit (it was already 6/6 confirmed on the chain) and i missed the 0.85cents deadline by a few minutes, i actually GOT my coin..
This is not the case for Hextracoin, they did confirm within 2 hours..
But when the ICO timer ran out and the coins were available.. It crashed EVERY time i pressed "Buy HXT".
In 2 hours before the sale closed, i got in only 10 times and it crashed every time.. The other times i was looking at a nice CloudFlare warning. Or a Whoops! message.
As my BTC is locked, i need to try to buy coin EVEN if i want to get out. ICO lasts for another 3 weeks.. So tried again tonight..
This time i recorded my adventure:
I got in OK, pressed buy.. And it DIDN't crashed so i should have got my coin, right?
Wrong! Sold out and my BTC was still there.
The problem is the developer has locked the BTC from withdrawal until you BUY his HXT!
Which is next to impossible. If it was possible to just transfer the BTC back, i'd be OK.
But as i read it, even transferring 50HXT from another account (IF they are actually sold at all), doesn't let you transfer out.
Unless i get my 300HXT tomorrow or my BTC back, i'm inclined to deem it a scam.
Or a HextraCON.
